Chapter 4
1 year ago…
It was an unfair battle; the monsters outnumber the two demigods fighting against them. They are powerful but with the number of monsters around them, they cannot surely win. The boy is already wounded, the girl's weapon lost when she tried stabbing a Cyclops.
"Piper go!" The boy said while trying to distract the monsters with lightning. They were scarred at first, but when they notice that he does not have a good aim thanks to the wound that they inflicted on his eye. They all laughed at his pathetic attempts.
"No! I will not leave you alone!" The girl said, while tears are already falling down her cheeks as the thought of leaving her friend all alone. The boy pretends to not hear what the girl said and pushed her. The monsters tried to attack her but the boy was faster. He struck them with lightning and thankfully this time his aim was better than the last.
"Piper, I love you." The boy said in a low voice. He knew that his voice won't reach the girl that he loved so much. The boy fought and fought even though he knew that he cannot win.
Piper Mclean run and run. Tears fell as she ran; she knew that Jason can never win against the monsters. 'This is my entire fault! If I wasn't persistent in running away, this wouldn't have happened! If I had listened to what Leo told me then Jason didn't had to..he didn't had to…' Piper thought. She stopped dead in her tracks. She cried and cried. She hoped that Jason would come and he would erase all of her worries. Piper waited and waited but he didn't come. She realized then that Jason is truly gone.
Piper tried explaining how Jason died to the others. Sadly, no one believed her. After all they need someone to blame, someone to banish, someone to carry the burden. Piper tried coming back to the place where she left Jason, but there was nothing in there when she went there. The blood on the grass are already dry, her sword nowhere to be seen and Jason's body isn't even around. There were no dust on the air, no dust around the grass..It was as if nothing actually happened there.
Piper stole a dagger from camp half blood and afterwards she left. No one knew where she went whether or not she's still alive until they saw her talking with Leo Valdez.
Everyone was angry. How can someone who just killed their great leader be so happy? How can she act like nothing happened? They sent her death threats, but she doesn't seem to mind. What made them angrier is when she dare showed up a year after Jason's death at his grave stone.
They wanted Piper dead.
Present Day
Piper ate her lunch in silence. Across her seat, sat Leo and beside him sat Anabell. The accident that happened a while ago still fresh in their mind, no one wanted to talk about it. Piper looked at Leo with a cold stare, she wasn't sure how much Leo had told Anabell but she can't be too careful. One small mistake can cause her, her life, especially with Thalia and the others giving her death threats. When Piper finally decided to say something, the door opened. A teenager around the age of 16 entered. She has long brown hair, bright yellow eyes and she was wearing a white t-shirt that says 'kill me ' and a short skirt. She looks a lot like Anabell but their eyes are so different, Anabell has bright purple eyes due to some problem when she was born.
"And you are?" Piper asked in an irritated voice.
"Calm down beauty queen, the teenager just wants an autograph of the most famous engineer!" Leo said with a smile on his face.
"Sorry for disturbing your lunch, but I heard that Miss Anabell works here and I need to talk to her. It is kind of important." Anabell stood up and walked towards the teenager, asking what's her name and what does she need.
"Miss Anabell had you forgotten about me? I'm your student Shirley Blaine." Piper and Leo looked at each other with a surprised looked. They had heard of the family of Blaine and they were sure that everyone in that family is a half-blood.
"I don't remember being a teacher Shirley. If I was a teacher what could I possibly teach you?" Anabell asked.
"Miss Anabell you taught me sword fighting. Remember when you first saw me crying inside the Apollo's cabin because I can't use the bow and arrow?" Anabell was about to say something when Piper suddenly stood up then pushed Shirley towards the wall.
"Piper! Let go of Shirley!" Anabell yelled as she tried to pull Piper away from Shirley. Piper glared at Anabell then from her pocket she got a dagger and point it at Shirley's throat.
"Who are you? What do you want with us?" Piper asked in an angry tone. Shirley was about to talk when Leo came and confiscated Piper's dagger. He also pulled Piper away from Shirley.
"Piper, she's not here for you. She came for Anabell and please do not threaten guests with a knife." He said the last sentence with a smile. Leo said sorry to Shirley then made her sit at his chair. He also motioned for Piper and Anabell to sit at their seat.
"So beautiful Shirley tell us exactly the reason why you're here then later on I will give you my autograph and an exclusive photograph of me your most favorite engineer." Leo joked. Shirley nodded.
"Camp half-blood is in ruins. The protective pine three was cut down and the Golden Fleece was stolen. Monsters are attacking us every single second. I was tasked to find veteran demigods to help us fight and save camp. I immediately taught of finding you. You were one of the great daughters of Hecate. I am very sure you can help save camp." Shirley explained.
Anabell is confused. She was shocked to hear what Shirley just explained. First off Shirley said that she's a daughter of Hecate, then she was the teacher of Shirley in swords fighting.. Did all of this really happened or is Shirley just pranking her? Anabell keep on asking this to herself but she can't really determine the answer.
"You're mistaking me as someone else." Anabell said.
"No, I'm not mistaking you as someone else. Your purple eyes are the main evidence. You're Anabell Fae" Anabell stayed sitting on her sit confused, shocked and angry at the same time. It was as if she had understood everything.
"She's my twin sister."
